Electric issues

[Travelingman]

My main panel was not showing the levels in the tanks and batteries. I pull it out and the plug to the circuit board was not connected however the red wire has come out of the plug. Can I get a new harness with the plug on it without having to get the entire panel. All the other switches work with no issues.

Also having g issues with my gfci it trips as soon as I push the reset button in the bathroom.

Simply put a new connector on the end of the broken wire and reconnect - no need for a new harness. Such a thing might not be available or will be hideously expensive. I solder my connectors for a sturdier connection - some people do, some don't.

Your GFCI? It is a ground fault, of course. Try unplugging all appliances on the protected circuit one at a time and reset. If that did not work, I'd buy and install a new GFCI outlet because this is easy and not that expensive.

The troubleshooting gets more tedious after that because you will need to start disconnecting the hard wired things one at a time to see which appliance has the ground fault. Once found, fix or replace that item.

The connector is the red on that plugs into the controller so it nothing the I could get locally. Seeing if anybody knows can I get the connections with the wires already attached?

Twisting a bare blue wire to a bare green wire without insulation probably isn't correct with or without the insulation.

How did the wire break at the red connector occur? Hopefully, you can de-pin that red connector to effect a repair without needing a new harness. An all new harness seems like overly complex overkill.

And I think you need a vehicle wiring diagram to set things right.

Get someone adept at 12 volt wiring to fix that panel. And nothing says the red wire was ever in the plug. The pic is horrible to tell anything by. As to the GFCI, it won't reset either because there is a fault in the system or it has no power to it or it is defective. If you are not good with electricity, also find someone that is.

I did manage to get the red wire into the connector and when I push the buttons to see if the lights come on. Then within 2 to 3 seconds they go out. So thinking it might be the control board has been damaged.

It is expensive to assume that parts are defective. I have gone to jobs and fixed trivial things for people after they have thrown hundreds of dollars in parts at it. The plug is available if you know what you are looking for. There should be a schematic for what the wires go to from the board. The board maker or appliance maker should have information.
